In Episode 5, Carly speaks with Nawa Nightshade. Nawa is a herbalist, somatic coach and community organiser. Their healing practice is centred on anti-oppressive praxis that works to address systemic harm, informed by decolonial activism on the front lines, with respect to all who have fought and lost their lives for collective liberation.
